The NPS middle school Library Teachers, including Bigelow’s Ms. Summa, have created a weekly segment called Some Good Book News (SGBN). They will be doing weekly segments, which can be found on the Bigelow Library’s School Closure page.
In the 1st episode Ms. Summa introduces From Above, by Norah McClintock, Ms. Guzzi recommends The Red Glass, by Laura Resau, and Ms. Lightfoot talks about the AudioFile Sync summer reading program. Check it out!
School may be closed, but Bigelow is still planning to produce a yearbook for this school year. Led by advisor Sheryl Rice, a group of hard-working students are continuing to chronicle this most unusual year in a volume that will surely be a valuable memento and worth ordering. In addition to the many great pages of photos that they have assembled already about events that have taken place at Bigelow this year, the Yearbook Club needs your help as well!
They would like to include photos of students engaged in distance learning during this school shutdown. In particular, they’re looking for 1-2 candid photos from each student in all grades engaged in activities such as:
The Yearbook Club will select some of these photos to feature in the Yearbook. Click here to submit your photos. The deadline for submitting photos is Friday, May 7.
